Re: rage against the machine
The below is a grim read, and shows what happens when imponderable complexity performs very ponderable mass murder. Unlike red-herringing here on nettime, it was a very physical fight between humans and machines, which humans lost due to limits of muscle power. Next time someone tries to abstract the murder into some bullshit complexity, re-read from the below: '''Manual trimming means using banal muscle power, insiders call this work even "acrobatic". Probably that is why the affected airline Ethiopian Airlines in their communication this week, it is very unfortunate that the pilots of the crash machine "despite their hard work" could not prevent the aircraft to continue the deadly course.''' They probably died swearing. They knew that it was the machine killing them. I wonder if they died screaming at the machine or at its designers? Machine translated from https://www.heise.de/tp/features/Absturz-ET-302-Minuten-des-Schreckens-4365546.html Preliminary investigation report from Addis Ababa relieves the pilots after the second crash of a Boeing 737 Max - and provides dramatic insights, at the same time, the question of the relationship between man and computer comes to a head On a dry field a few miles outside the Ethiopian town of Bischoftu, flight ET 302 ends on Sunday morning, March 10, at 8:45 am in a fireball. For 149 passengers and eight crew members from 33 nations, it meant death. Several meters deep, the soil is torn open, the earth burned black. A short flight of terrifying moments: The Boeing 737 MAX 8 machine was barely seven minutes in the air after it had just left the Bole Airport of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. The pilots flew according to the standards Now, just over a month later, a preliminary report is available. The report was eagerly awaited as the circumstances surrounding Flight ET 302 continue to raise pressing questions. The aircraft's control software was soon suspected, as in a crash a few months earlier, in which a Lion-Air machine of the same type (also a Boeing 737 Max) crashed in Indonesia. This killed 189 people. Whether the controversial control system of the model family for the calamities ultimately alone (or in which constellation) was decisive, must be further clarified in the details. However, the preliminary investigation report from Addis Ababa, which the Ethiopian Minister of Transport Dagmawit Moges presented to the public at the end of the week, provides some information that could help to educate. For example, the crew of Ethiopian Airlines acted correctly in the minutes before the crash and complied with all requirements set by the manufacturer Boeing for the critical flight phase. Occasionally even the qualification of the crew had been questioned. At first, the pilots were acting professionally according to the checklist "Stabilizer Trim Runaway" and switched off the electric trim. Nevertheless, you can not bring the machine under control. The course of the flight remained unstable. According to the research from Addis Ababa, there is no doubt that the nose of the machine has been pushed down automatically several times without appropriate instructions. Deadly fiasco In vain did the crew of the 737 fight to stabilize the situation. Three times the captain called to his co-pilot "Pull up!", But it did not help. The data from the flight recorder of ET 302 clearly shows that the pilots repeatedly switched the automatic control on and off. They followed the instructions. The on-board computer stubbornly took over and kept the direction, pulling the nose of the aircraft down again and again. Enormous forces must have been created, possibly in connection with an unusual acceleration - forces that had a dramatic effect on the course of the flight and worsened the situation. Is that why obvious attempts to trim by handwheel failed? Such manual interventions are part of the pilots' flight repertoire - and they are usually associated with considerable effort. Manual trimming means using banal muscle power, insiders call this work even "acrobatic". Probably that is why the affected airline Ethiopian Airlines in their communication this week, it is very unfortunate that the pilots of the crash machine "despite their hard work" could not prevent the aircraft to continue the deadly course. However, the question also remains after these considerations ultimately not answered, why the juggernaut did not continue consistently manually. If the electric motors for trim adjustment are disconnected from the power supply, the autopilot can actually no longer provide any inputs. Did the pilots of ET 302 come up with the right approach, but - under enormous stress - changed the "course of action" too hectic and thus enabled further trim inputs of a faulty system?

Re: Not Brexit
Hiya, One of the ironies of Brexit (pointed out in a TV interview with Richard Barbrook) is that Brexit has turned the UK from a Eurosceptic nation into one of the most engaged and increasingly pro-EU countries in the EU! I also predicted in the last minute of this interview for RT that England will be using the euro, within the Schengen Agreement and have EU flags flying from all public building within a decade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x41mCl_eesc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2yHTHBXl2zb9Bz2nxHy2Eb5T7ekyj10JzrRYBqFM1FfP2wnvDIESzNIC8 Richard === Dr. Richard Barbrook Dept of Politics and IR, University of Westminster 32-38 Wells Street LONDON W1T 3UW England +44 (0)7879 441873 Skype: richard.barbrook Facebook: Richard Barbrook Twitter: @richardbarbrook https://www.digital-liberties.coop http://www.cybersalon.org http://www.classwargames.net http://www.politicsandmediafreedom.net http://www.imaginaryfutures.net http://www.imaginaryfutures.net/other-works 'Clause 5: That as the laws ought to be equal, so they must be good, and not evidently destructive to the safety and well-being of the people.'

Re: Not Brexit
Appologies to Morlock who rightly berated those of us obsessed with arcane
and ridiculous parliamentary shenanigans of a small or medium size country of
diminishing relevance. So yes I do struggle to understand my own obsession.
Except to say that it is the most fantastic and excuisite mess. Or to put it
another
way its a genuine ‘event’, one those moments when a system reveals itself
BECAUSE it has gone so spectacularly awry. The moment the result of the
referendum
came in it was immediately clear that there was now a BEFORE and an AFTER and
that the Brexit event would in future years appear to create its own
precursors. Thats
why if you live here its like staring at the Sun and proably as dangerous.

It is my understanding that without MEPs sitting in Parliament we are from an
institutional point of view OUT. That is why May is fighting so hard to avoid
participatingin these elections.
And make no mistake there is no stopping the clock on the European elections.
Revoke should be the very very last resort as it would be a very big slap in
the face
for those who voted in good faith. But it should (like the ejector seat) remain
an option
if it was clear that we were on the brink of crashing out.
The best outcome in my view is we press the pause button for at least a year.
And (dream scenario here) convene citizens forums focused on close examinations
of
what the trade offs actually entail. This was very successful in the Irish
abortion refferendum.
A talented leader could play the role of national explainer helping to candidly
lay out the trade
offs and drawing the threads together rather than acting like an advocate for
the status quo as
Cameron did allowing Leave to occupy the role of insurgents.
In this way Corbyn may been wise in what looks like fence sitting as it opens
up the
possibility of him acting as honest broker in some future vote.. There is no
simple way
out of the “mad riddle" of Brexit.

No, you would have broken EU law, thats all. Maybe the agreement as
well. They could cancel it if it were a treaty. But they just stopped
the clock one more time -- until a certain still unknow date, lets hope
they do. The safest way would be to revoke "Brexit" and forget "direct
democracy". But to revoke would be action. And it is still possible that
they do nothing ("passive aggressivness").
